Hey! This is an idea I've been thinking of for a while, let me know what to think and whether to continue. I know I haven't really touched on the Glee part yet but i'm just setting the scene here. Please leave feedback!


Albus Potter has a secret. Well actually, he has quite a few secrets but first, let me tell you about the biggest one. He and his family are wizards. Not only that though, they are famous wizards. When his father, Harry, was just 17, he defeated the most powerful and evil wizard that had possibly ever lived and restored peace to the entire wizarding world. So everywhere Albus and his family went, they were stopped for autographs and pictures. People constantly shake his father's hand and call him 'The Boy Who Lived' which was strange to Albus because his dad wasn't a boy, he was almost 40 years old. And up until this year, Albus and his siblings attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the best wizarding school in the whole world. However, earlier that evening his father came home from The Ministry of Magic, where he worked as head Auror, in a flurry, shouting to Albus and his family to pack their things as quick as they could. And thats how Albus got here, on an aeroplane seat heading to America.


The plane journey was one of the longest and most confusing journeys Albus had ever been on. His father hadn't yet explained why they were on a spontaneous trip to the other side of the world but he knew it was serious. As much as he hoped they were going to DisneyWorld, he had a strong feeling that this was going to be anything but a holiday. What confused Albus is why they were on an aeroplane for hours when they could apparate in seconds. He glanced over to his father and his mother, Ginny, and saw they had their heads together, talking urgently in hushed tones. His father would occasionally look around the plane suspiciously before turning back to his wife, who looked concerned and upset. His brother James, who was sitting on Albus' right side was playing quite a violent game on his handheld console, apparently oblivious to the situation he and his family was in. Although they were only a year apart in age, the brothers were very different. James was very outgoing and confident whereas Albus was more quiet and collected. Despite the personality difference, the brothers were still close. To Albus' left side was his younger sister Lilly, who was fast asleep. She had spent the past few hours upset and confused, demanding to know the reason for the random trip and insisting they be back before September 1st, when she would start her first year at Hogwarts. Despite her mothers attempt at calming her down, Albus' younger sister continued to fight and cry until she wore herself out. Albus tried not to move too much so he would not wake her.


When they arrived, Albus noticed they had landed at Cincinnati Airport in Ohio. His dreams of DisneyWorld slowly faded and his confusion heightened. He caught up with his father, who was walking ahead his family with a determined walk and a worried expression.

'Dad, why ar-' Albus started.

'Not now Albus, me and your mother will explain later, just keep walking.' His dad interrupted with an irritated tone. Albus knew to not ask any more questions, his dad rarely spoke in that way and when he did he knew something was seriously wrong. As he slowed his pace slightly, his mother came next to him and put her hand in his. He turned his head to her and she half-smiled sadly.

'Mum, seriously why are we here and what is wrong with Dad? Has he lost his marbles or is he just drunk?' James asked Ginny with a bored tone and hunched shoulders.

'Your father is fine, he has all of his marbles and he isn't drunk. However, he is in a hurry and if we don't walk faster we'll lose sight of him.' She replied, clearly avoiding the question. After going through airport security and collected their bags, his dad got a taxi and they all piled inside.

'Daaaaad.' Lilly moaned. 'When will we be going back?'

'Stop going on Lilly, everything will be fine, trust me.' Harry replied, but without the usual smile he reserves for his little girl. Over two hours later, they reached a hotel in Lima and as his dad paid the driver, they removed the bags from the back of the car. As they walked into the building, Albus wondered how long the hotel would be his home.


An hour later, when the Potter family were in their hotel room, his father sat them down on the bed and began to explain.

'When I was in high school, there was an evil wizard who everyone feared and his name was Vol-' Harry began.

"Yes, yes we know all about Voldemort and you saving the world, get on with it.' James interrupted, receiving a stony stare from his father.

'Well, Voldemort had several followers that people called 'Death Eaters'. When Voldemort was defeated, these individuals disappeared and no one knew exactly where they went or what they were planning. Eventually, everyone forgot about them and stopped looking for them. A few days ago, the ministry received a tip from a pub owner that a group of people were organising an important meeting about, well, about me.'

'Death Eaters?' Albus asked tentatively.

'Exactly.' relied Harry. 'The Ministry sent spies to this suspicious meeting and as when I went into work yesterday I was called into the Ministers office for a meeting. Kingsley told me to pack up my family and belongings and move to somewhere as far away and as unexpected as possible. And that is why we are here.'

'So some old crackpot tells you to move to the other side of the world and you just do it? Are you sure you haven't lost your marbles?' James protested.

'Kingsley Shacklebolt is not an 'old crackpot', he is a very clever man who cares about us. He wouldn't have told me to do it unless it was important to.' Harry replied sharply.

'So what about school?' Lilly asked her father with tears in her eyes. 'Is there a wizarding school in Ohio?'

'No there isn't. You can't go to a wizarding school. Nor can any of us use magic of any kind. They may be tracking our spells and the first place they will check for us are the wizarding schools, we need to lie low until this is all sorted.' Ginny replied, bringing Lilly into a hug.

'So where are we going?' Albus asked quietly.

'You're going to a well respected local school. It's called William McKinley High School.'
